Ever since I was a young child, I have dreamed of taking up five spots parking horizontally in the Elbow Drive Safeway parking lot

BREAKING: After over a decade of dormancy, Grizzly Algar Lake SAGD project has ramped to a rotund 450 Bbls/d in September. The project is injecting steam at nameplate capacity of ~7,000 Bbls/d, which should see oil rates climb to ~1,700 Bbls/d with time. Grizzly's history is fairly interesting, and worth the time to read about where they got some of their assets and funding. But they have a ton of acreage and some might consider them a potential acquisition target. Folks will be RIVETED to Petrinex to see how this story unfolds.

I took a Lime scooter downtown this morning and a lifted truck pretty aggressively cut me off on 26th Ave. Bring a tear to me eye. I would’ve done the same. Some Canadians still know how to do the right thing when nobody is watching 🥹

My guilty pleasure (one of many) is watching acoustic and instrumental covers of “Creep” on Instagram. They’re all so good.

A little strange to me there's a counterparty out there that says "you know what, you take the liquids, and we'll take the AECO exposure", and are paying for the privilege.

man it's a tough look for ur industry when you spend decades becoming the largest US nat gas producer with the most <$2/mcf B/E inventory w/ integrated midstream... and u have a lower market cap than Pokemon cards (literally just cartoon animals printed on cheap cardboard)

As is tradition, because I hate myself, every month I pull up the Veren PnP disaster wells as just take it all in. Sometimes I close the windows and turn the lights off -- just a dim screen in the corner of my office with a cum-time curve. A cum-time curve that's in 1st place.

BREAKING: Could the "B" in Baytex stand for "BACK"? Bluesky step-out 6-miles from their Reno oil pool (discovered/ramped in the early 2010s) hit a peak rate of a fairly rotund ~190 Bbls/d of crude bitumen AKA "black gold", at a respectable ~60% water cut, in September. This is on a Paramount (formerly Koch Oil Sands) lease, and the logs look phenomenal. 20% core porosity and 5m of nice, clean sand. Baytex surveyed 8 wells to be drilled off this pad, with this first one a success folks will be looking for follow up drilling in the near future.
